    If it were me, I would try the diet anyway. It can happen for people to have negative bloodwork and positive biopsy results. Here is a link that may be of interest to you: Open Original Shared Link This means that sometimes if your villi are still in the early stages of damage, your bloodwork may be negative - for now. Negative bloodwork does...

    I am making a note of this one. I'm sure it would reflect positively on my performance review that is coming up in 2 months. I still get to take part in the thread, but I have to do it before and after work. So I'll just have to say how beautiful I am going to look, and then talk about how beautiful I was at the end of the day. I think...

    I absolutely hate it when the diet becomes the center of attention at dinner. I think if I were on the other side, I would ask some questions, but I would try to make sure not to ask too many. One thing I definitly wouldn't ask is "so what happens when you eat it?" I always hate that one. It's not generally considered polite during dinner to say ...

    Here are my favorites: Open Original Shared Link - you might not like these though because they have dates too. Open Original Shared Link - nuts and seeds. I don't see crack listed on the label, but it must be in there because these are addictive! Open Original Shared Link - all flavors are gluten-free except the crispy one Open Original...

    When we could still eat dairy we loved the recipe using Pamela's Baking Mix. It's monkey easy and always turns out great. Open Original Shared Link

    Well I got told my by my boss today that I need to spend less time on the internet at work. So now I can only be silly on my own time. WTF? Work computers are supposed to be for....work? Life is tough when you work for the Man. Nice to meet you DingoGirl. Richard is enjoying himself over here in the Castle Anthrax makeup thread. Tomorrow we are...

    Open Original Shared Link An immunoglobulins test is done to measure the level of immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, in your blood. Antibodies are specific to each type of foreign substance. The five major types of antibodies are: The Antigliadin IgA and IgG tests have somewhat fallen out of favor due to the lack of specificity ...

    Sorry to say it, but in the 2.5 years since my diagnosis, I have never cheated, nor wanted to. If you keep eating gluten even though you know it will make you sick, I think it would be very helpful for you to reflect and figure out why. Here are some ideas for you to think about: - Can't eat family favorites? Post some recipes and we'll help you convert...

    21. You know the exact day the EM special will change. And you are seriously ticked off if they extend the current special. 22. On the day the special is supposed to change, the first thing you do in the morning is log into the EM site to see what the new special is. If it hasn't changed yet, you send EM an email to ask what time zone the change...

    The best thing I have ever done to increase my successes with gluten-free bread baking is to get an instant-read digital thermometer. Many times I would bake gluten-free bread for the amount of time that was specified in the recipe and when I would take it out of the oven it would deflate. It looked done, but it wasn't cooked all the way. Here is some...

    After I was diagnosed, I started to lose lots of hair. I was really freaked out by it. I went to the doctor about it, and she said that any time you have a serious illness (I was literally near death when I was diagnosed), it disturbs the hair cycle. Hair lives a certain amount of time, and then it is programmed to fall out. The number of hairs growing and...

    They refuse to negotiate. When I let it slip that we were going to all do makeovers on Richard untill he looked like Amy Winehouse, they thought it was a positive thing. I really need to brush up on my negotiation skills. We shall prevail eventually, and there will be eyeshadow samplers for all!

    We have a 2005 Elantra and we love it. The gas mileage is great, the warranty is great, and it has great safety features. We researched it thoroughly before we bought it with Consumer reports, Car and Driver and lots of other sources, and they all had good things to say about the car.

    I'm so jealous! The grilled chicken in the US McDonald's salads has wheat in it. Yet another stupid place for wheat to be.

    It was mentioned on "That's so Raven" about a year ago. My daughter isn't even a celiac and she was excited about it.

    7. You remove and reapply a full face of makeup more than twice in one day just to see what a different combination looks like. 8. You compulsively check online to see when the EXACT MINUTE is that your EM order will arrive. 9. When your order arrives, you speed home and lock yourself in the bathroom with it so the kids can't interrupt as you paw through...

    As long as they are not using sharing the same John at the same time. I am so glad to learn that I have a long lost twin. And I am even more pleased that it Open Original Shared Link.

    In an effort to increase my standing in the cult, I have been watching everyday Minerals videos on youtube. Most of them are poorly done with vapid girls expounding the virtues of EM in their best Valley Girl voices. "Yeah, like, hi. I'm Tiffaneee. I am gonna talk todaee about Evauhreeday Mineruhlsss." But I did manage to get a few good tips from some...

    This happened to me for the first time today. I've always had good luck from Pamela's mix before. The only thing I did differently was that I accidentally used cold water instead of tepid water. The loaf is still edible, but it is quite flat. Oh wel. Lesson learned. Maybe the next time you try, take the termperature of your water and make sure it...

    Thanks for the report. I may have to give this one a try. I have made Chebe Calzone (chebezone? ) and that is yummy too.

    Would you say that we have a plethora of Donnas? A Donnapalooza perhaps? I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Really - is there a more quotable movie? Yippee to Tom for solving the mystery! Ah. I see. Did I imply that I hated that show? I really meant that...

    Well we will trade him for a shrubbery as long as you promise to chop it down with......A HERRING!!! Yes, that show is also up there on the list of suicide worthy shows. There are some others that will remain nameless. I TRIED to like "Kids in the Hall", I really did. Since we're alone here, though, I will confess to a brief but lovely...

    Yay - loving Donna's beautiful new avitar. Do tell what colors you are wearing.
  24. cruelshoes
    It sounds great to me! What time should I be over for dinner. I want to hear how it works out.
  25. cruelshoes
    Ha - Wet-N-Wild is an ultra cheap brand of makeup over here in the states. I hope you have some luck using the phrase on your hubby, though. Good times. BTW, while we're on the subject of America VS the UK, what is up with all the demented kids shows that keep coming over here from your side of the ocean? My daughter is totally into the Open Original...
